Lifestyle Management Undiagnosed Health Needs Mapping (HNM) Managing Diversity: the Slough pilot

Aims:

ƒ To reduce the cost (time and £) of managing diabetes through effective use of communications

ƒ To develop an approach to mapping demand to enable effective marketing

ƒ To develop a communications tool-kit

ƒ To be a model of engagement which can be exported across the NHS. Slough PCT

ƒ Undiagnosed diabetics are at risk of complication and health crises. Early diagnosis should reduce emergency admissions and improve healthy lifespan. (Early research on the Slough pilot shows that 8/10 in the most at-risk postcodes simply don’t know about local diagnostic services)

ƒ In Slough 4.3% of the population (4,845 from total of 120,000) are known to suffer from Diabetes. The true number is estimated to be around 7% Health Needs Mapping (HNM) Central organising concepts

• As an example, we have selected four of the key Diabetes at-risk population clusters - South Asian Industry, Families on Benefits, Low Horizons and Ex Industrial Legacy - and looked at their behaviour. • The table gives the incidence of factors for these four populations in aggregate against the national average such that 100 represents the national average, a score of 150 half as high again as the national average • Behaviours which are exceptionally concentrated in these four types of neighbourhood have been marked in red • Information has been sourced from the 2001 census and from lifestyle surveys

There are a number of important conclusions…. They have a very high level of interest in the newspapers in red…

Newspapers read They shop in Netto not Asda…
